Run For Oli

I am running the Great South Run for Tourettes Action because my son, Oliver, was diagnosed last year.

Our vision is a world where people with Tourette Syndrome (TS) receive the practical support and social acceptance they need to help them live their lives to the full. We help people with TS to be included in education, at work and in society, throughout their lives. We also support research to improve their quality of life.

Charity Registration No. 1003317

Ruth's son, Oliver, was diagnosed with Tourette's in 2013, along with the co-morbid conditions of Attention Deficit Disorder, Sensory Processing Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Tendencies, and rages. Oliver's tics currently consist of facial tics (grimaces, blinking, nose wrinkling, eye rolling), head flicking, and vocal tics (throat clearing, gasping). Tourette's comes in waves and Oliver has times when he is virtually tic free and other times when he doesn't stop moving.
